Using Approximate Dynamic Programming to Control an Electric Vehicle Charging Station System
(2017-08-11)
Dynamic programming (DP) as a mathematical programming approach to optimize a system evolving over time has been applied to solve the multi-stage optimization problems in a lot of areas such as manufacturing systems and ...
A SNAPSHOT OF THE ALIGNMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING PRACTICES TO A LIKERT SCALE ASSESSMENT OF MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING
(2017-05-22)
This study investigates the alignment of students' actual problem-solving practices and compares them to the outcomes on a Likert scale mathematical problem solving (MPS) assessment. The Likert scale survey items developed ...
COMPOSITE PLATE OPTIMIZATION WITH STRUCTURAL AND MANUFACTURING CONSTRAINTS
(2017-05-12)
This is a design optimization study that focuses on the value of free size optimization technology on composite structures which incorporates realistic structural requirements and practical manufacturing limitations to ...
“In a Way It’s a Violation”: Pap Smear Knowledge and Beliefs Among Underserved Women in Substance Abuse Treatment
(2017-05-03)
Due to many factors, women in substance abuse treatment are at high risk of contracting
the human papillomavirus (HPV) and developing cervical cancer. Despite this, the likelihood of accessing preventative healthcare, ...
T-CELL MEMBRANE CAMOUFLAGED NANOPARTICLES FOR TREATMENT OF MELANOMA
(2017-05-30)
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers. The American Cancer Society reports that every hour, one person dies from melanoma. While there are a number of treatments currently available for melanoma (e.g. surgery, ...
DEVELOPMENT OF CANCER TRAP FOR CAPTURING CANCER CELLS THAT METASTASIZE IN THE PERITONEAL CAVITY: A PRELIMINARY STUDY
(2017-05-25)
Our laboratory has recently developed an implantable device - cancer trap that can recruit and trap circulating cancer cells inside the bloodstream. Since several types of cancer cells can metastasize inside the peritoneal ...
TECHNOLOGY INCREASES EFFICIENCY IN THE WORKPLACE, BUT OFTEN CREATES CHAOS IN THE PROCESS
(2017-06-06)
There is a multitude of technology solutions used in the typical workplace, aimed at increasing efficiency, but often chaos is created in the process. Can this chaos be reduced or eliminated? This paper seeks to answer ...
SIMULATION AND DESIGN OF MICROBOLOMETERS FOR 5-14 µm WAVELENGTH AT OBLIQUE INCIDENCE
(2017-05-09)
A mathematical model was developed to calculate the total power absorbed and total power reflected for a microbolometer for oblique incidence of light viz. s and p polarization by varying the angle of incidence from 1 to ...
Development of A New Joint System for A Circular-Shaped Infrastructure
(2017-04-28)
This dissertation focused on development of new carbon fiber joint systems for all types of underground gravity and sewer pipe systems. Specifically, the external CFRP wrap and, particularly, the carbon fiber reinforced ...
